Caesar dressing

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt dressing

Greek yogurt dressing reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 minced garlic clove. Set aside to infuse.

In another bowl, toss 2 1/2 cups ciabatta bread cubes with salt, pepper, and 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese to coat.

Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, until golden, flipping them halfway through.

Season 1 pound of skinless, boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then heat a pan over medium high-heat.

Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan and cook the chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Set aside.

Cook 7 oz fusilli pasta in salted water according to package instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water.

Chop 1 head of Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 anchovy filets, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, salt, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 egg yolk.

Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil until combined.

Add the cooked pasta, cut chicken, and 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese to the lettuce, then pour the dressing over and toss to combine.
